    no thanks. I like having torque. lol jk.

    I'm actually a pretty big HOnda fan myself. After riding in an all-motor teggy drag an evo from a roll I was convinced Honda's can be fast too.

    I'd rather have the knowledge and ability to do it than the money to buy it already done.

    They said they pulled out to save money on production cost and will not produce anything "new" in the near future.... they are looking towards the direction of 4cyl Mivec engines and other styles of cars that will be "economically correct"....then it went on to diss all the other Automakers saying how thier mistake was to keep producing cars when the ones they had were not selling and caused a surplus of cars on the lot...spending more than they were making.... big 3 bailout-LOL

    They hope to make an impression in late 2010-2011.... Dam I so have to find that stupid ad now!!!!
    Nissan also pulled out of NAIAS in Detroit. Ford, GM, and Chrysler pulled out of the Tokyo Auto Show, which might be completely cancelled. But it isn't a surprise, considering all the stupid 0% APR financing offers that make them absolutely no money whatsoever.

    But it makes them money in the long run! Money... that they've already spent... money that they probably won't get back because the car was repo'd. Money... shit, I should just stop now.

    If you post stupid and incorrect information, you will get red nuggets.

    More like in recent information climate it's less and less valuable to attend motor shows... a few "leaked" photos create a much bigger "sensation" than spending millions to deck out a booth and fly prototypes and cars around.

    It's just the way it's going to be guys, sooner or later we can have like projection screens to project a prototype in your house in 3D and you just walk around it like you would in an actual motor show and it'd cost the manufacturers tenths if not hundredths to deliver the content right to your home.

    because no one can "buy" anything at a motorshow it's the "sensation" and "presence" that makers are paying for.

    Why do it the expensive way?

    Spy photos have been 'leaked' for decades, its nothing new to create excitement for a new car model, and yes, you CAN BUY things at the auto, I see it all the time.

    And Panda, if Mitsubishi bails on the USA, I'm going to Mercedes, not Honda...lol

    Well they sell things but that's totally not the point of the motor show :smt068

    Spy shots leaked "intentionally" by manufacturers, viral and vapourware are definitely NOT how they used to handle things a decade....fuck me 5 years ago.:smt101 That's a totally different thing than spy shots shot at the nurburgring with heavy cladding back a few decades ago.

    And welcome to the world of Mercedes. Where dealer might trade in your E class for a B class unintentionally because they can't find a fix for your 7 speed transmission.

    My friend has been driving a 2009 B class for 4 weeks now as Mercedes has taken his 2007 E class in for a transmission change and reflash - still no news when the E class can be back on the road yet.

    Yea, ok... I'm from Detroit, and I know and have worked with higher ups at GM, Ford, and Chrysler (and all the Euro and Japanese imports too) and know exactly how they have worked things for the past 30 years. You?

    I've seen cars PURPOSELY driven and parked outside cafes and restaurants and the execs are actually asking passers0by and other people what do they think of this car? I know people from Car And Driver and Automobile magazine and they would more than corroborate my stories.

    mitsu won't make a rwd coupe with the 4B11 because hyundai already makes one, the Genesis...

    purposely driven outside to show people is one thing. Leaking pictures of cars that don't exist, hype it all up, and then say it's "just an exercise, here see this rendering!" is a whole different story.

    get with the times.
